A nurse assigned to the well-child clinic in a low-cost housing development realizes that a number
  of mothers have misconceptions about the most effective ways of disciplining their children.
 
  The
  nurse decides that forming a group to resolve this problem would be an effective strategy. The focus
  of the group should be
  a. support.
  b. socialization.
  c. education.
  d. feelings.

Question 2

A client states she has taken megadoses of vitamin E for 3 months to improve her circulation but
  thinks she feels somewhat worse. The priority action for the nurse should be to
 
  a. assess the client for symptoms and signs of hypervitaminosis E: headaches,
  fatigue, blurred vision, and thrombophlebitis.
  b. remind the client that the Food and Drug Administration has not evaluated
  vitamin E as preventive or curative of any disease.
  c. formulate the outcome that the client will use a reliable resource to investigate
  megadosing before her next visit.
  d. evaluate the effectiveness of the vitamin by performing ultrasound examination of
  the legs and a mental status examination.

Answer to Question 1

C
The nurse has diagnosed a knowledge deficiency. The focus of the group should be education. The
other options will be of lesser importance within the group meetings.

Answer to Question 2

A
Megadoses of any vitamin taken over long periods may produce untoward side effects. The priority
for the nurse is to assess for problems associated with megadosage and urge caution in continuing
the practice. Option B and C are not as viable alternatives as option A. Option D: Ordering an
ultrasound examination is not within the limits of the nurse's license.
